Following the wider Housing Services Redesign we are rebuilding and reshaping teams with a number of changes to the way we support our residents and enable them to thrive in their properties.

As a Housing Officer Apprentice you will work alongside existing Housing Officers who are responsible for delivering housing management in a neighbourhood area of local authority properties. They deal with the people and the property - making sure that the rent is paid, dealing with repairs, neighbour disputes, anti- social behaviour and providing support and help for tenants to help them manage their tenancy.

As a Housing Officer Apprentice, you will undertake a professional qualification in Housing and Property management at Level 3 as a minimum.

As you grow within the role your level of lone working, decision making and responsibility will develop.  

Your manager will empower you to apply our principles - resilience, adaptability and participation - to your working practices.

If this sounds like the role for you, we look forward to receiving your application form!

At Adur & Worthing, we are committed to supporting care leavers, in accordance with the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000 and the Children and Social Work Act 2017.

In order to be considered for this, you will need to be a care leaver under the age of 25 at the time of application. Please confirm that you are a care leaver in the "Showing how you meet the person specification and job description" section of the application form. 

As a Disability Confident employer, we will ensure that a fair and proportionate number of applicants declaring a disability, that meet the essential criteria for this position, will be offered an interview. 

Staff are our most important asset and we therefore have a benefit package which reflects our continuing commitment to our employees.  This includes:

  • Generous leave entitlement; a minimum of 26 days + Bank Holiday entitlement
  • Local Government Pension
  • Training & development
  • Occupational Health
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
  • Employee resource groups/networks

We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community - a place where we can all be ourselves and succeed on merit. Staff work in a supportive and safe environment, recognising their responsibility to value and respect each other’s contributions. Standards of conduct must be of the highest level to ensure that no-one is harassed, bullied or victimised. We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, staff engagement forums and are keen to hear from applicants from a variety of different backgrounds.
